Put this in your pocket.
But don’t separate all of these facts from one another. Appreciate them all for what they are. Allow them to mix and simmer.

To Whom It May Concern (Everyone):
Don’t stop believing.
I’m currently on my 9th different business card since graduating from college. However, on the outside looking in, nothing about my job description has changed. 7 years later, I’m still helping people buy and real estate.
But a lot has changed. For one (a big one), I’ve found my WHY.
My latest card doesn’t offer a full name, title, cell number, email address, or even a fax number for you to send me what could’ve been scanned.
I went this route for three reasons:
1) We can get stuck in the rut of what our card says we do. (For me, there’s way more going on here than just real estate transactions and I have a rut phobia)
2) We change the world not by doing what we’re told to do, but by doing what we’re not told to do.
3) I want my life to represent an idea not a title. A win here happens when you start to unlock that idea.
“Do you have a card?” If so, it probably describes more of who you aren’t than who you truly are.
Sow.
Grow.
Harvest.
Whatever your goals, dreams, and ideas are farm them.
Then pray for rain.
